Annapolis Capital Punishment

 Our nine readers who responded to the contest came up with these numbers after averaging them:

Cordle 42.0 (range of 29 to 60%)
Cohen 36.5 (range of 10-45%)
Fox 21.0 (range of 9 to 36%)

Here is what CP predicted:

Cohen   35%
Cordle  35%
Fox       30%

But the unofficial results so far are:


Cohen  45%
Cordle 42%
Fox       13%

So, which of our brave nine readers came closest? Which of our readers will now be likened to Nostradamus? Which of our readers will now get a ten dollar gift certificate to Zu Coffee? The winner is:

Theodore Anderson A Ward 8 resident who supported Cordle predicted:

Cohen  44%

Cordle  43%

Fox      12%


Ted also predicted turnout at 23%, but can anyone help me determine the official turnout???  (POST NOTE--I believe the turnout was about 34%) I think Ted was way low on that.  His percentages actually add up to 99% but wow--that was really close!  You are prescient--even for a Republican!  Can I make you the CP Official Prophet??


Congratulations Ted.   Second-place winner gets to buy coffee for CP. Third place winner gets to take CP out to a relaxing, slow meal at a gourmet restaurant. (Just kidding about the second and third parts...)


Ted (may I call you Ted?), you did not send in a prediction for the aldermanic race, so you don't get any extra credit...not that I had anything in mind for that anyhow....But, this reader was the runner-up...Paul Hoffstein, a  Democrat  also from Ward 8 predicted:

Cohen  43%
Cordle  40%
Fox   17%

Sorry--no prize for you--but you can buy me a cup of coffee--or a beer!

In the wards (rounding off):
Hoyle received about 60 to Bowling's 40.  (CP called it wrong)
Silverman got about 60 to Conley's 40 (Julie Mussog R-8 called that right on!  CP predicted Silverman as winner but much closer)
Kirby 60 to Stiverson 40 (CP wrong again--predicted Stiverson would edge out Kirby)
Pfeiffer at 51% versus Monteith at 49% (Julie Mussog was really close on that  CP was right on as well!)
Arnett  54% to Toews 46%.(CP predicted Arnett with 55% of the vote)

These Ward-Eighters are a smart bunch! And just think, Cohen lost both precincts there--his old home ward. Hmmm....

NOW..back to the mayoral race for a second...  I also made predictions by wards, so how did I do??? If you are still reading this and actually care....go to www.annapolis.gov/upload/images/government/depts/CityClerk/Elect09/2009Gen.pdf   my results here were really mixed but poor overall.

Thanks to all who paid attention to any of this!!!  THANKS FOR VOTING!!!
